Rooting H815 with locked bootloader.

hi
I did a lot of reading here in XDA lg g4 forums and still i didn't understand if it is possible to root a g4 h815 device
while to bootloader is locked.
i tried to unlock it with no success.
My software version is V10c-SEA-XX
Model number LG-H815.
Any idea?
thank!
If you can't find the answer to this question, you should stop looking. Rooting is dangerous and can ruin your expensive new phone.

No need for sarcasm, i just want to make sure,
i read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
but still i want to be 100% sure that my phone is supported...
I wasn't being sarcastic. It's my honest belief, that if you have to start a thread to ask "can I root my phone" you should be warned not to try.
bump
as long as you are on lollipop or can downgrade yes you can.
if not sure if you can doengrade enter hidden menu. search if you dont know code. go to software all the way down and check antirollback.. i heard all h815 can but better to check..
then follow this procedure i did it when my bootloader was locked for warranty.
i created a .img from my phone.

V20c-TWN H815 Root?

I've been digging around on how to root my phone.
I've tried unlocking the bootloader on the LG developer site, but this error comes up
"Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
So I guess this method is a no-go.
Are there any other methods for rooting my phone?
I found a oneclickroot but I've never used one before and don't know whether its trustworthy.
same here. Is there someone who unlocked the bootloader of this variant ?
Same
I just received my G4 yesterday and found it's a v20c-TWN-XX
Actually looking for a rooting solution on all forums i know...

G4 how to root it? (dont understand whats with bootloader and so)

Hello there, i got an LG G4 h815 few days ago, when ever i get new device first thing i do is root it, and it was always very easy for me.
with this g4 i got problems, try to go to LG website and unlock bootloader, it say i cant cause my device is h815 taiwan, so i read more in google and understand official unlock is only for the euro devices.
so i google more try to understand how can i unlock it unofficially, and found nothing, as well as try to google for a way to root it with out unlock bootloader, and also coulnt find.
im sure im missing something, cause i dont think its possible that there is no root for an old device, any help on how to root my phone?
thanks a head.
Lots of people here have H815 TWN...please can some one make a specific thread for rooting or installing xposed on Taiwanese H815 without the risking of bricking or bootlooping the device...meaning successful rooting ...

unfortunatelly you cant unlocked till today.. maybe later if someone can do it... but you can add root to locked bootloader... i have not tried this method.. i tried similar to h811 tmobile.. but its the same procedure.. mine is unlockacle but i dont want to with the bootloop issue... unlocking bootloader voids warranty. and root too but you can always try the kdz that disables the big cores and undo the root..

thank you, i found the root for locked bootloader, i done it, but its only for 5.1 android, and i still cant flash roms, only one rom witch they make for locked bootloader, so after all the process went back to unroot 6.0 androis >:
hope some1 will break this bootlock .

Rooting H815T Marshmallow

Hey all. So basically I recently purchased the H815T Australian optus model. It was initially on Lollipop but updated to MM & I need root so I can restore all my data from my previous device but seems I need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately it couldn't be done because the H815T isn't supported on the LG unlocking website. Is there another way to unlock the bootloader or rooting it? Please help guys, I really need to retrieve my data but can't do so till there is a method to root. Or would I have to downgrade to Lollipop & root? I'd immensely appreciate some assistance with this, cheers.

Thanks for your help. I really enjoy being on Marshmallow so don't really want to downgrade. Thankfully I got most of my whatsapp messages through google drive backup & most of the other apps did have some form of cloud storage. I'm gonna stick to MM till a rooting method does eventuate.

G7(Sim Unlocked LM-G710ULM) Bootloader unlock and/or root?

Hey guys i just got this with the ULM model and was wondering if anyone had a bootloader unlock for it. also if possible a root
There are rumors of a new bootloader unlock for G710ULM but I haven't tried it myself. If you decide to go for it let us know.
I managed to unlock my bootloader with some help from the telegram group
Yes, there's a new unlock method posted on one of the famous Russian forums. I haven't tried it, but it involves booting once with a rooted boot image, using root and a root adb terminal to overwrite the bootloader with an unlockable one, unlocking the bootloader, and copying the original boot loader back. It seems fairly straightforward, though, as I said, I've not tried it.
Yes, thats a very good explaination of it
Link to the method?

As far as I can tell the method has only been posted in the G7 Telegram group. I think I'm not allowed to link to the group invite, but if you Google for an LG G7 Telegram group you should be able to find it and get access to the group.
This thread is kind of old, but I found this thread before I found the latest and best one, which is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568
The answer to OP is YES it is possible to unlock bootloader on ULM and other G7 models, and the instructions are in the thread above ^
